Yeah...until you actually make something of your own.

Or would yall be cool with somebody making money off your work for free?

It's not his voice. It's WWE property like everything else they've sampled. They'll probably work out a settlement if they even think it's worth pursuing. This is someone that has a relationship with a number of their stars and is seemingly well liked across the industry.

EDIT: He deleted the Instagram post. Someone got in his ear.
